SharePoint Vitals updates (Oct 2020)
We released some improvements and fixes to SharePoint Vitals this month. Here's what's new:
- Fixed Google map on Heat Map report (old Vitals)
- Added brand new API documentation to Integrate page in settings
- Fixed problems with V3 Power BI integration API
- Improved speed of document aggregation with a new bulk update cache table using Azure Table Storage
- Settings navigation now automatically shows "Connect Data" and "Integrate" if the customer has a database
- Added a "Sign out of Microsoft" link to login page
- The new UI of SharePoint Vitals is now the default experience
Employee directory bug fixes (Sep/Oct 2020)
- Hide "Default" office and department from left navigation, and from the offices and departments listing pages. The "Default" office or department is where we allocate user accounts that don't have an office or department field set, but this was confusing for end users, so we removed this from displaying in the sidebar and listing pages. Note: The Default office and department is still accessible via search and directly via URL (e.g. /#/default).
- Fix: If office or department names were too long, they were being ""cut off" in the sidebar. We fixed that by wrapping the names if they're too long.
- Fix: Certain users weren't able to sign in to existing tenants if their email address is different from their User Principal Name (UPN).
- Fix: If a user exists in more than one tenant that is synced to OneDirectory, their user details weren't syncing correctly.
- Fix: Squashed a small rendering bug with profile pics.
- Added filtering definitions for BusinessPhone and MobilePhone for custom fields functionality.
- Removed sidebar "snapping" behavior. It didn't add much value to the user experience, and removing it makes page scrolling smoother.

Browse employee addresses and office locations in your employee directory 🗺️
Last week's OneDirectory release was all about location.
Here's an overview of what's new:
Addresses on profiles 📍
Employee profiles now show the employee's address, pulled from their Office 365 user profile information, and also shows a map.
Clicking on the map opens a fully browsable map view of that location, right in your employee directory.
Full map view 🗺️
OneDirectory now has a built-in map view to allow you to browse addresses without leaving the app. As expected you can scroll, zoom, flip to satellite view and street view etc. directly within your employee directory.
List view improvements 📝
We made a few improvements to the list view, including tooltips on email and contact numbers, reordered columns, improved column widths, and better text wrapping.
And if you have custom fields enabled you'll now see these show in your list views. Previously custom fields were only displayed on the employee profiles.
Other updates and fixes 👏🎉
- Improved address formatting throughout the app
- Added City field to Address section on Profile Insights
- Clicking the office address on an Office homepage will show the full map view
- Profiles now show an avatar instead of the "generic person" image, if the user doesn't have a profile pic
- Fix: Changed "Location" to "Office" in the sort drop-down
